'git send-email' is a means of using git to generate and send the email
independently of any email client; it cuts out the steps of creating the
patch file and attaching it to an email.  It includes the option
--in-reply-to.  In the case of the email in question, I used it with the
result that the email included both In-Reply-To: and References: of
<address@hidden>, which matches the original poster's
message id.

Then what I did with git should have worked.
